Subject:        "Read Not Dead"

The Globe announces in its latest e-news (subscribe at
http://www.shakespeares-globe.org/navigation/frameset.htm) this item:

READ NOT DEAD NOW ON
The most recent series of Globe Education's popular Read Not Dead staged
readings, which seek to record lesser known plays that survive from the
late 16th and 17th centuries, started on Sunday. As part of the
Shakespeare and Islam season, the plays all take place in or include
characters from Islamic lands. Book now for a rare opportunity to hear
the 1622 text of Othello on
Sunday 5 December, as we celebrate the play's 400th anniversary,

Tickets:£10.00 (£8.00 GlobeLink/FoSG/conc), £6.00 student
Venue: The Globe Education Centre Theatre, Park Street, SE1
Box Office: 020 7401 9919

--
The webpage listing the works is hard to find (use the menus for
Education/Individuals/Read Not Dead).  These are three of the
forthcoming staged readings:

--Oct. 10:  The Emperor of the East (ca. 1631), by Philip Massinger.
(Will also be presented at the reconstructed Blackfriars Playhouse,
Staunton VA.)

--Nov. 28:  Lust's Dominion (ca. 1599-1600), by Marston, Dekker,
Haughton, and Day.

--Dec. 5:  The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice, by WS, using 1622
text (Q1).

------
I think staged readings are a terrific idea to keep audiences from
thinking Shakespeare was the only worthwhile playwright around.  I'd
like to see the idea expanded into prose works.

Cheers,
Al Magary
